Abstract
A global clock signal distribution system includes a distribution line that includes gates for signal distribution, a function block gate with at least two input ports and a duty compensation gate with at least two input ports. The duty compensation gate is inserted in the distribution line following the function block gate for balancing rise-to-fall delay and fall-to-rise delay. The duty compensation gate delays an earlier arrived edge of the clock signal more than a later arrived edge of the clock signal to compensate delay unbalance.
